Paul MacVicar

Best parts guy of all Canadian tire stores... great job George! Even the extra mile and offered to take large size package purchase to vehicle for me without having to ask. That's service! !

Malls are getting lame. Same ol stuff. Really only a handful of useful stores left in. Here for me...

Sterling McKay

Good spot to stop in, could really use a food court to step it's game up

ryan kk34xp

Nice mall for a small town but could use more stores.

Roberto Guardado

Great variety of stores. Bonus was that it was directly across from our hotel.

Curtis Cullen

It's still a good place to be, but what's sad that quite a few more businesses had been closed, including the A&W!

TheKingOfKings818

Meh. It's your typical small town mall. Better then Truro.

Jason Sutherland

I visited for a hair cut at the Tartan Blade..

Bob Steele

was great back in the day 80's and 90's, now it's a shell of it's former self i'd say Walmart beside it destroyed the highland square. a total ghost mall with dark lighting depressing music and 80 percent of the stores boarded up. sad cause i had so many great childhood memories there, won't be long before this place is totally gone.

Laura Andrea

This is a quaint little country style mall. Lots of little shops inside. Service is friendly and you kind find most things here. Well lit and lots of parking available. Huge variety of food establishments and clothing and sporting equipment. Some big box stores too, Canadian tire,the source. Great atmosphere here, it has an old school feeling. Not too crowded too which is nice. Covid guidelines in place as well.

Dawn Matheson

It's always nice to go shopping and coffee . Good service with shopping .

Christopher Milbury

Not really a huge variety of stores, but quite good for clothes, Tim's and EB games.

Edward McNamara

Not too many stores. A few good ones though. I only go there for Canadian Tire and a couple other stores though.

Darlene Chisholm

Nice, clean little mall with great anchor stores - Canadian Tire, Winners and a nice sized Michael's Craft store.

Adam Chandler

It stinks, the Highland Square Mall is dying and is on its last leg, and prefer to shop at the Aberdeen shopping Centre.

Joe Locke

A very dated little mall with lots of empty storefronts. Typical of many small towns. Some very "blast from the past" shops like a Coles bookstore and a Hallmark Cards. An excellent dollar store though.

Meow jij

Great mall. Good deals can find almost anything

Nichole Brown

A pleasant surprise. I went in to the mall heading to Winners. I found several other stores I preferred better but did not expect to see. I never did get to Winners ????????

Family Fun Channel

It's ok, but the store selection is terrible. Small community so nothing lasts

Angela Nunya

Great place to shop..would be better if there was more shops but thats what happens especially in a small town

glasscasketTV

A dying mall with lots of potential. Its a shame Sobeys is bad at malls, or just doesn't care.

James Cary

Great place to shop. Clean mall that has a lot of stores

Emma Dwyer

Open on natal day and quickly responded to my message asking them about it! Glad to get in to get some new clothes. Everything is clean and social distancing efforts in effect. It’s kind of sad to see so many businesses leaving the mall, but hopefully more will come in the future!

Kevin Grant

A mall that's been in the community for decades. Has seen it's rise and falls over the years. Has stores & shops that fill just about every need. Lots of clothing stores.

Mike Beaulieu

I kind of like going to that mall, there's more hustle and bustle there than our mall. Good stores all around as well.

Nasif Ali

The mall is okay but they have wasted lot of spaces where they could have opened more entertaining stuffs. It does not have a info desk like other malls. The brightness around the building is low due to lack of lights in the mall. They can improve a lot compared to the space they have.

Roger E. Keating

Could use more stores and better parking ...

Liz Bradshaw (pezliz)

A decent selection of stores and you’ll always see someone you know! Can’t beat the mall!

Kathy Mills

Not many stores but the ones that are there are pretty good.

Gavin Stewart

Becoming much less of a destination over the past few years. Their days may be numbered.

Dallas Moore

The mall use to be great but slowly going down hill as most places are leaving as of late.

Sam Fromm

Small town mall with a handful of stores and popup vendors. Clothing, electronics, sporting goods, art supplies, and tools all available between the different stores. although i feel that the mall should compact itself as a few stores are a bit out of the way compared to others when just does not seem appealling to go to those couple of stores even to look as they are down a half empty wing.

Sandra Walsh

Really slow and friendly to be in there

Vivek P DEVAN

Good mall to meet our needs

Sue Cooper

Went there to cellphone case. A very nice mall. I always enjoy my visit to the mall. Not a big shopper but I am always able to get what I need and get out

Jenna Rae MacKeil

Ok for the location, not many options. Would be nice to have more children's clothes options like an old navy

Bob Reeves

Good parking, a good variety of stores and clean washrooms!

joseph macdonald

Great spot. Great staff everywhere, and great service.

Tracy Sparkes

The mall needs some upgrading badly, selection of stores is very poor, not surprised locals shop online or go to the city, the mall has little to offer!!

Susan D Steele

Great little mall with many types of stores to suit all your needs. There is a Walmart, Canadian Tire in the same mall.

Crystal Brunk

Small sized mall but reasonable for the location. Has a range of stores to very most needs. At this time (covid) there were a few empty stores. There is also no inside access to the Canadian Tire at this time. Walking areas are clear, seemed clean and signage about precautions and stores was clear

Stan Allan

Good cross section of stores, convenient to hwy 104

Corey Hammond

EB Games is the best store here. Kind of dying mall though.

Kimberly Brown

Not many stores here anymore, but there are a few good places to shop here.

Jamie Simpson

Mall should just close up. Not many stores in there.

Justin Payne

The best mall ever. As teens we use to hang out there

Sandy Best

Most shops are closed but the best shoe repair in Nova Scotia is there and he is 5 star

Allen Bernard

It's awesome ????

Adam Toth

Not a bad little mall. The store selection is decent enough, with a good variety of different shops. The only major drawback for me is the lack of a true food-court. Apart from a few franchise restaurants (Tim Hortons, A&W, Boston Pizza), there's not much available to sit and grab a quick bite to eat. If that's not a deal-breaker for you, then Highland Square Mall is the place for you.

Warren Watson

A clean mall with all your general needs from clothes to gaming. Nothing too fancy, but fits the shopping needs in Pictou.

Brian Morris

I still can't believe after 30 years they still call it the 'New' mall

Tyler Lowden

Nice mall, good layout. Shops are dropping like flies. Very sad to see. Miss the Michael's!

Kerri Morrison

The mall. Them all. Them nothing. This place is 90% vacant. What a joke. ????????

Don Murphy

Lots of parking. Nice store's

Jim Barry (WoodchuckCanuck)

We're picky eaters while on the road. But we always stop at this location. It truely has the best burgers and freshest ingredients.

Sergio Nuñez

Sad to see a lot of store closed

Chris G

Nice mall for a small town, all the basics are available here!

Paul Finley

Empty with customers and not a reason shop

Chelsey Wilson

Pseudio has really great sales in august ....also love ardenes and coles !

Riley Kellock

There's just something nice about how mall and local this mall feels

Dave Roberts

Quite big, lots of room. Plenty of parking. Went to Coles books there, friendly staff there.

Remeer (Remeer)

If I''m being honest I'm surprised this mall this operates with so many shops closing and moving away from Pictou County, I wish this mall had more but it seems so desolate and not getting better as the years go by.

Colin Heighton

Very few stores, especially if you're looking for good looking clothing at a reasonable price. You have bluenotes at one end of the spectrum (low quality, low prices and then Pseudio med-quality, high prices). Save a bit more money and take a trip to Halifax or Dartmouth.

Sylvia Francis

Go apply for a job alot of place are hiring..

Justa Guy

It's your typical small-town mall. Nothing to write home about. Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire as well as Eastlink a can be found there.

Michael Williams

Sad to see so many stores closing....

Miranda D (Dragonfly)

good but stores are a little different due to pandemic

Chris MacIntosh

Nice mall lots of stores for a smaller town.

Rhonda Clarke

What a wonderful mall, beautifully laid out. Very inviting atmosphere but could have more variety of stores.

Bobby SHARKS

Lots of parking . In a safe neighborhood . Very friendly area.

christina Eh!

Great little mall.Needs more stores in it.Nice to have a little bakery&eatery in it,very quiet mall.

Gil Strachan

Super mall for a relatively small town. Always visit when we're in the neighborhood.

Michael Fisher

Not a bad mall for the size of the town. Definitely not your go to mall but if you want to find a winners close enough to Antigonish or surrounding areas, a Sear which always have good deals and a few other shops like GNC or Wicker Emporium then its definitely worth a stop. Personally, it's a great stop on the way from say Halifax to Cape Breton or Antigonish.

Angela Dee

Very easy to see how to get around with covid rules and restrictions. Hand sanitizers all over. Very well taken care of for us in Pictou County!

Edith Parks

Lots of businesses to be able to choose a variety of purchases

Alex Stevenson

An ok selection. Not bad for the area I guess.

Stacy Peters

I want to love our mall because it's been a staple in the community for so long, but the ever growing vacancy rate and lack of attractions makes it increasingly hard to do so. I've worked there, hung out there as a kid, and shop there now as an adult community member and I hope there are improvements on the horizon.

Natalie Baerg

Not a big mall but a good selection

Angie Jack

Waveless ll Great service from Andy! Patient and helpful with a non-techie. Thank you!

Kevin Dunbar

A nice little mall that has everything you need. Recent Renovations make it look very modern, with all the stores that is normal mall has.

Beverlee MacLellan

There are a lot of shops to shop from and most of the time it is very peaceful. Great place to shop

Joyce Battist

Time to reduce the rent in order to keep your mall filled. Some income is better than nothing. Very sad to see all the empty store fronts

Grime Shark StJohn

Hate the mall cops ???? constant following up n down the mall. I got money pig. You don't .. sorry

xia fraser

Stores that are there are nice, not much variety though.

Courtney Danielle

Always clean. not as big of a selection for stores as there use to be as rent is pretty high for the small spaces. Lots of closed stores/empty spaces. There’s no food court, there’s a Tim Hortons and an a&w.

Kenny Pothier

A friendly atmosphere. Has a lot of stores and is clean.

Neil Schulz

There are some very useful stores here! Canadian Tire, Eastlink, Mark's, Michaels, etc. Lots of good parking!

Sabrina Cuzzort

Nice mall. Lots of stores. Clean

Alain Girard

Great little mall, lots of selection and friendly staff

Chris Wood

Nice mall, plenty of stores. Kept very clean.

Sosep Hatfield

As a mall, it's not that great in selection. We lost our future shop and got a Michael's craft store instead. Terrible trade off. Losing more stores in the future.

Lee Hammond

Friendly people but could use more variety of shops

Richard Reid

Standard Mall if ur in the area id recommend the 30 minute trip to the turo mall they have skylights and a food court much more up scale it feels like the people who own this mall dont care anymore no updates in 20 years or more

Tony DeCoste

The easiest place to social distance in Pictou County

jay Bou

No food court, not connected to Walmart. Plenty of close parking because it's not super busy. Has some decent stores but some empty spaces.

Patrick K

Every store is beginning to close, Tim Hortons always reeks, and its stuck in the past (What happen to the renovations it was suppose to get?) The mall needs an upgrade but it's not the most exciting place, everytime I come for a visit there's nothing exciting and just seems more empty everytime. That's my honest review.

Amanda Collins

Wish they had a food court with all food options together. The website says there's a burger King but I wasn't able to find it.

Felicia D

Most stores are closing or already closed. Not much selection anymore. Parking is great. The few stores they have are well stocked and staff is normally very friendly. Lack of store options is the reason for 3 stars. They should try to fill all the empty stores so we have a full functioning mall again.

Mathew Nutter

It has most of the stuff that the average person would want. A small town so this mall doesn't have it all. It does however have a Canadian Tire, Michaels and an EB Games. This mall does not have a food court. Not big enough for that.

Rosemin Patel

This mall had the essentials. Stores you go to get what you need.

Devyn farrow

Small mall within New glasgow has a couple different stores i enjoy such as eb games, Canadian tire, sports check and more.

Alan Truly

Nice quiet mall with Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons and Michaels. What more could you want.

Yash D Srivastava

Nice place to shop for multitude of stuff, be it clothing, electronic, mobile and accessories, sports, home and furnishing, food, etc. The only thing the stores need to have is larger variety for customers to choose from.

Joe Calder

Stores should open earlier

Glenn Kinkaid

Canadian Tire Store here is fantastic. Well laid out with plenty of on sale merchandise available.

liz taylor

Clean parking area which is a good start. Didn't get to go inside this time as I was just visiting but if anything like years ago when I was there the stores are kept clean friendly and helpful staff. Next time in town will go for sure

Melanie Horne

It's no big mall like you will find in the city but they have all the stores to find what you would be looking for. I've also always got exceptional service while shopping here.

joanne redmond

Not alot of stores there now.

Phyllis Currie

Friendly service and bathrooms were being serviced nice and clean.

Meriam Mackenzie

It was okay yet there's not much of stores on it. Most are vacant and for lease

Daniel Rose

Interior design is somewhat outdated and bland and could use a fountain, but stores are welcoming and aplenty.

Shelley Callahan

Good trendy store for the younger crowd.

Nick Zuberovic

Not much variety anymore, so I'm told. Generally a ghost town after 6/7 pm.

linda richard

Has been better. COVID has closed too many stores

The Warden

Love this mall but sad to see a lot of businesses are closed or closing.

Heidi Gould

My first time at the mall since Covid-19. I was impressed with the safety measures they had in place.

Dominic Dodge

Nice mall has pretty much everything

Chris Cardiff

Theres not much stores in thus mall. Its a ok mall if you need to go to eastlink, bell or any cell phone internet cable provider to go pay your bill if you dont do it online. Theres no specific stores to go to for buying baby/toddler clothes theres only really walmart that has some but not alot. I gp to the mall just to get out of the house i mostly do my shopping online since i cant get to halifax as much as i want.

Peter Daley

Not as much going on as when I was younger but still a nice environment.

Jacqualine Fraser

It's a decent mall for a small city. Has the key shops you need.

Great little mall, makes shopping in the winter better

Nice Mall

Nothing there to experience

B T Katt

Not much variety...a dying mall...as many are these days

Wayne Anderson

Very nice mall with mostly all conveniences u might need.Also clean.

Dave Brown

More to offer than Truro Mall.

Tara O'Connor

Just love to be able to come home to visit the Highland Square and see it hasn't changed all that much

Ejoanne Thomas

Really nice mall, good variety of stores.

Chris Andersen

Not much to see at this mall. They have a few big name stores like Canadian Tire, Mark's and Sport Chek (all the same company). There's also a Michael's for those into crafts. It always seems quite quiet inside when we go there. Boston Pizza just closed it's doors, which wasn't a big surprise as it was a bad fit for New Glasgow/Pictou County.

Helen Gross

I had not visited Highland Square Mall in New Gkasgow for several years and went to purchase some gifts. It has really gone downhill. Many stores have left and gone to the east side mall. Too bad. It was a central location. Canadian Tire is still there. I will not be back.

CJSM Doughty

A whole lot of "nothing" for those coming out of town. They have more wireless shops than anything else. A few stores, but nothing much to get excited about

Debra Livingstone

I actually work in this mall and it's a great place to shop .The mall is always clean ,merchants are friendly .We also have a great selection of stores.

Phil Dapple

It's a good mall in the New Glasgow area. It's clean and carries a pleasant atmosphere. I've never seen those groups of unwelcoming troublemakers like I've seen at others which makes it a pleasant experience when I shop here.

Gill Naugler

This mall is definitely in need of more shops, a new shoe store or one, would be nice.

Charles Riley

Very special shopping experience at this mall.

Hob Boutilier

Just went to deliver a package to dental office. Allot of shops closed due to pandemic. Such a shame.

Justin Clarke

Not the best mall for wife variety of places.

Gordon Cameron

They took out the benches. What are men going to do while their wives shop. Big Big mistake. Some people have to stop and have a break. Wouldn't be going back there.

Karen MacKay

Great place to shop

Virginia Hemphill

Everyone i know go to cityto spend this mall is just a run in and out not much in it boring you need to put Sobeys back in and a steak house toput some enjoyment in it people like to sociize and enjoy a good meal enough pizza places in town the people that work in mall are very nice

Matthew Cummings

Needs more selection. Only a limited number of major retailers

Stitch Project

This "mall" is becoming more like a ghost town with every passing month...it used to be a good place to shop but it has been going downhill for a very long time. The mall operators are charging too much for rent which keeps businesses from staying in the mall.

Brenda Miller

Great place, great stores and clean atmosphere

TP Brewer

They have a good selection of stores to keep you busy and get you want you want

Johnny Vaters

Lots of shops and easy parking. Tims and A&W. Walmart just across the parking lot. clean washrooms and walkways.

Jennifer Johnson

Sad to see so many businesses leaving the mall

Peg

I like the mall with all the places to shop, but sorry to see Stokes are closing.

Nick Clower

Got most of the stores I need. Usually not too crowded, used to be better.

Shannon Maclellan

Not much here anymore...

Emmy Mart

Not a lot of stores of interest. The stores I enjoy going to seem to all close.

Krista Miller

Uncrowded friendly small shops
